Greene's departure represents another political notch in Trump’s belt, the retreat of another would-be Republican rebel. But the defiant nature of her video announcement hinted at the fissures now dividing the president’s movement. Lisa Lerer @reidepstein.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/u...

My loathing of Amazon & all of their systems continues unabated.

Prime video is a horrible system but housemate wanted to check out the free trail.

Their payment system confirmation is also terrible.

Think they mean the state & not DC, so the person whom you want to have this didn't get it and still walks amongst us.

Reporter: Are affirming that you think Trump is a fascist?

Mamdani: We’ve spoken about—

Trump: That’s ok, you can just say it.

Empires most often fall not because of macro politics, ideology, or ennui but because the people can't get access to needed resources or the climate changed so much what was once relied on is no longer there to support them.

Iran will collapse & most of the Middle East will follow due to climate.

Working artists, you'll want to turn this sh** off on paypal, and generally get more strict about protecting yourselves from their censorship. Get more dilligent about ensuring your and your clients' privacy.
ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

Neo-con Catholic converts: "We must scour every text, bull & scrape of paper to determine how much Jesus hated the people we hate!"

Regular Catholics under new pope: "UNCE! UNCE! UNCE! UNCE!"
He said "Amen" straight into the drop

Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

In 2016, I got death threats when I posted about Katie Johnson on Twitter.

Johnson is the woman who says she was raped by Trump when she was only 13 years old.

I watched the entirety of her video testimony and found it credible, which I say as someone who has worked with CSA survivors for decades.
The National Enquirer tried to catch and kill the Katie Johnson story. Then they got ahead of it in an attempt to discredit her. And many of us bought it—hook, line, and sinker katemanne.substack.com/p/they-tried...
They Tried to Bury the Katie Johnson Story
And we, the public, let them convince us it was bogus.

I have no hype for any of these sets.

I want Lorwyn to be good but feel it won't have that sweet feel that the original block had.
Which 2026 set are you most hyped for? 🤔

Started playing #Hades2 and it does live up to the hype.

I still suck at such games because I lack the ability to dodge & chain things well but have been that way for a long time now.

Still worth playing. Especially for the characters & their interactions.

Plus BEEEG ladies in it!
